Alliance member Bob Norris asked if the Huron East representatives expressed concerns about not having representation on the Alliance. "Or, has it been laid to rest?" he asked. LAC chair Arend Streutker responded that the subject didn't come up during the meeting. "One councillor applied and he did not make it on the LAC," he said. i Heat waves raise power use By Laura Cudworth Beacon -Herald Staff This latest heat wave is taxing the power grid as consumption rises with the humidity. Last Monday at about 4:15 p.m., Festival Hydro hit a peak in consumption of 80,801 kilowatts. Last June the average peak was 75,412, said Bill Zehr, the utility's president. However, it's not a record. In August 2001, peak consumption in Stratford reached 83,759 kilowatts. "We have not reached that level of demand since 2001," Zehr said. The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) is expecting record high demand across the province today and is urging users to conserve, especially between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Demand across the province hit a record peak of 26,157 megawatts yesterday afternoon, breaking the previous high of 25,414 set in August 2002. The demand for electricity today is expected to exceed yesterday's record. The IESO sends out power warnings when reserve supplies are low and is warning more demands on the system could mean either voltage reduction in Ontario or emergency purchases from other areas. About 10 years ago Stratford was a winter - peaking city, but more consumers have air conditioners now, so consumption peaks in the summer, Mr. Zehr said. That trend is consistent with the rest of the province. In January, peak consumption averaged about 73,000 kilowatts. 1 12 - THE HURON EXPOSITOR, July 6, 2005 News Two new members choosen to sit on Seaforth's LAC By Susan Hundertmark Expositor Editor A former nurse and a Seaforth engineer and fanner were chosen to sit on the Seaforth Local Advisory Committee (LAC) for the Huron -Perth Healthcare Alliance. Kay Mailloux and Bill Scott, both of Seaforth have filled the two vacancies on the Seaforth LAC and attended their first meeting last Tuesday. "We had some good candidates and that made the decision difficult. But, it was nice to have a choice," said Seaforth Community Hospital site administrator Mary Cardinal at last Tuesday's meeting. Mailloux is a retired registered nurse who used to work at the Seaforth hospital and Scott was born and raised in Seaforth, trained as an engineer and has a background in business and agriculture. While Huron East Mayor Joe Seili had asked both the Alliance and the LAC to consider appointing a representative from council to either body in the spring, Seili said during a phone interview that he is confident communications are improving between the municipality and the hospital. Huron East Coun. David Blaney, who represents the ward of Brussels, was one of the candidates for the LAC openings in Seaforth but was not chosen. "Whether Dave got on the committee or not, they had to make the selection and it was a tough decision. All those who applied were very good candidates and will work well," he said. Seili, Deputy -Mayor Bernie MacLellan and Huron East Clerk -Administrator Jack McLachlan met with both the Alliance board and the Seaforth LAC recently. "We still have concerns but we're going to meet with both groups every quarter and talk about mutual concerns and where we can help each other," said Seili. LAC vice -chair Sheila Morton also reported to the LAC Tuesday about the meeting June 10 with Huron East's mayor, deputy -mayor and clerk. "We talked about the positive things going ahead and council is pleased with the health centre and the health team. It was a very good meeting - we're working together and we YOUR STAY, YOUR WAY Create yuur own etaway at Toronto's Entertainment Hotel.
